Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park is hands down the largest and best destination for wildlife lovers in Tanzania. The name "Serengeti" is derived from the Maasai language, meaning "Endless Plains." Famous for the incredible wildebeest migration, this world wonder spans about 15,000 square kilometres and supports over 2 million wildebeest, along with more than 900,000 gazelles, 300,000 zebras, 550 cheetahs, and all the Big Five: lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants, and buffalo. It’s the true home of the African safari.
The Serengeti's pièce de résistance is the great wildebeest migration. Picture this: millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles embarking on a daring quest for greener pastures and water, traversing the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem in a grand, perpetual cycle.
More About Serengeti National Park
The adventure kicks off after the calving season in the southern Serengeti and Ngorongoro Conservation Area, where newborns take their first steps. From there, the herds journey north towards the Mara in Kenya, navigating treacherous rivers and endless grasslands in their relentless search for sustenance.
This epic saga is marred with danger. The most heart-stopping moments unfold at the Grumeti and Mara rivers, where countless animals face the gauntlet of crocodile-infested waters in a dramatic survival showdown. Witnessing these crossings is a once-in-a-lifetime thrill that showcases the sheer determination and resilience of the migrating herds. Driven by the changing seasons, this migration is a perpetual odyssey.
Explore the Serengeti in myriad ways: embark on a day game drive, a night safari, or soar above in a hot air balloon. Each offers a unique vantage point to experience this natural marvel. For birdwatchers, the park is a paradise, home to over 500 bird species waiting to be discovered.
